Governor Kathy Hochul today launched the “Get Offline, Get Outside” summer campaign to promote physical and mental health by helping New York’s kids and families to put down their phones and computers, take a break from social media, and enjoy recreation and outdoor social gatherings. Governor Hochul kicked off the campaign by announcing that the State is waiving swimming pool entry fees at New York State Parks this summer. Additionally, Governor Hochul launched the $1.5 million Connect Kids to Swimming Instruction Transportation Grant program to help with transportation to swimming lessons as part of the NY SWIMS initiative. This follows the Governor’s historic $150 million NY SWIMS investment to support pools in underserved communities – New York’s biggest investment in swimming since the New Deal. Governor Hochul made today’s announcement at Riverbank State Park Pools in New York City alongside local elected officials.
